===Opening===
A new year for you all! As you are finding out, the ‘old’ game is over. The software program written for the earth experiment is outdated and no longer applicable. But, and we do mean but, the nice thing is that the game does continue. The question is what type of game will it be? It may be advantageous for you to look at the metaphysical similarities to games like football, and the differences between official, sanctioned games and pick-up games.

===Lesson===
You know all the ramifications of official games—the teams, the motivation to do better (to use a generic term to say the least), and especially to win, win, win! You also observe the fall out of players due to illegal enhancements, along with the fewer and fewer sincere players with integrity, both of which the fans mirror in the stands. Recruitment of players and records of coaches are hashed about from Little League to the professional teams including your Olympics. They all reflect the original earth software and similarly are falling apart on all levels.

The freedom of this type of game is that it really doesn’t matter whether the ‘right’ people are on your team, if you carry out the play correctly, or even which team scores the most. You chose to walk onto the field, to interact with your team members, and to have fun. So keep enjoying the new pick-up version of the game and listen to us, like the marching band, saluting you during the half-time show!
